Once you have completed your dental assistant program, the next obvious step is to find a job. You might be wondering, “where do I start?” Today, we will give you tips to help you land your dream job as a dental assistant.

First and foremost, take advantage of us here at Sanger Education Dental Assisting School. We have a lot of experience with everything that has to do with dental assisting. We can help you! All you have to do is ask. We know finding a job can be a little nerve-racking. We have a lot of contacts on top of being able to help you with your assets. 

Next, have a stellar resume! Your resume is one of, if not the most important things to the job process because it represents who you are and what you bring to the table without the employer ever meeting you. The appearance of your resume is significant. Make sure your resume has a font that is easy to read, highlights your skills, and has proper references. When creating your resume, have it go through spell check and have multiple people proofread it.

Finally, utilize all your sources. There are a ton of websites out there like Indeed, Monster, or ZipRecruiter. Be sure to upload your resume. Create a job search and set up notifications for new jobs for a new Dental Assistant post. Plus, be sure to send out resumes to local dental offices. You never know when they might be looking for a new assistant.
